Details
There is currently a moratorium in place for any new technical and applied qualifications entering the yellow label service.
The yellow label service is a traceable exam scripts dispatch service provided by Parcelforce Worldwide. Exam centres can use the service to send unmarked materials to examiners. It covers the following materials for externally assessed general qualifications, functional skills and other eligible accredited qualifications:
exam scripts
coursework
controlled assessments
This service offers a high level of security for pre-arranged collections from exam centres.
Awarding organisations will provide the appropriate stationery to package test materials if the qualification is eligible for this service.
The service cannot be used to send internally marked coursework to moderators.
